The Slovene musical Vesna, adapted from Slovene cinema’s first romantic comedy, written by Matej Bor, returns to Križanke following last year’s premiere. The new musical is the work of the proven creative team that brought the hit musical Blossoms in Autumn to the stage four years ago. Exams are approaching and our three protagonists somehow get the idea that their strict maths teacher’s daughter can save them the trouble of revising. As a result of a series of coincidences it is not the studious Hyperbola who turns up to meet them but Vesna, a delightful girl who completely turns the boys’ heads, marking the real start of this springtime adventure. This story of innocent young love and its trials is directed by Vojko Anzeljc, with a libretto by Janez Usenik, choreography by Miha Krušič and music by Matjaž Vlašič. The producer is Gorazd Slak. The main roles of Vesna and Samo are played by Flora Ema Lotrič and Robert Korošec.
